Salomon Rondon (Richarlison, 69) 7 - A positive change for Everton as the 32-year-old held the ball up well and got on the scoresheet. Unlucky not to pick up an assist as Everton pushed for an equaliser. Getty
CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guaita 6 - Not much to deal with other than some speculative efforts that were easy for a goalkeeper of Guaita’s standards. AP
Tyrick Mitchell 6 - Stretched the play down the left flank and didn't allow Townsend to work dangerous crossing angles. Getty
Marc Guehi 8 - Thou shalt not pass! As Everton looked to move the ball into the Palace box, Guehi was there to remove the danger. Reuters
James Tomkins 7 - A rare goal after the hour mark for the centre-back put the Eagles two goals to the good. Reuters
Joel Ward 7 - A clearance at the end of the game looked to salvage Crystal Palace’s lead as Everton pushed desperately for an equaliser. AP
Will Hughes 6 - Tidy on the ball and was always happy to receive it - even when in his own box to help out his defenders against Everton’s press. Getty
Cheikhou Kouyate 7 - Broke up the play in the middle of the park and enforced his presence against the Everton midfielders. Dominant. Getty
Conor Gallagher 9 - The 21-year-old has been unplayable this season and he continued that form today with a magnificent display, sealing the game with an emphatic strike. AP
Wilfried Zaha 7 - Always a threat going forward but didn’t have as much success with his skills against the experienced Seamus Coleman. Produced some good passes into dangerous zones. Getty
Odsonne Edouard 7 - Edouard is settling into life well at Selhurst Park and displayed some of his link-up ability on Sunday evening. Getty
Jordan Ayew 6 - Ayew hasn’t scored in over 40 games, but he really should have found the net with his chance against Jordan Pickford. Got the assist for Gallagher’s opener. Getty
SUBS: Jeffrey Schlupp (Hughes 73) N/R - Introduced for Will Hughes to add defensive stability. Getty
Christian Benteke (Edouard 74) N/R - Replaced Edouard to play as a target man for the final period of the game. Getty
Nathaniel Clyne (Mitchell 91) N/R - On for the final minutes of added time. Getty
EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford 6 - A good save early on denied Jordan Ayew but the goalkeeper won’t be happy with conceding three goals on the day. Getty
Ben Godfrey 7 - Made a notable amount of defensive plays but it was a case of too much to deal with for Everton’s backline today. PA
Mason Holgate 7 - Stopped a number of attacks against a relentless display from Patrick Vieira’s side. AFP
Michael Keane 6 - Always positioned well to keep Crystal Palace’s centre-forwards quiet. But the defender will have some questions for the amount of space that Conor Gallagher was afforded. Getty
Seamus Coleman 7 - Had a lot to do and dealt well with the majority of situations when called into action. Reuters
Fabian Delph 6 - Broke up some Crystal Palace attacks but the midfield didn’t click on the night for Everton with no answer for Conor Gallagher. AFP
Abdoulaye Doucoure 5 - Things didn’t seem to be in tune for Doucoure today with too many passes that failed to find their intended target. Wasteful. Getty
Demarai Gray 5 - The winger was trying to repeat his heroics from the recent game against Arsenal, but he didn’t generate the power on his attempts to really trouble Guaita. Poor by his standards this season. Getty
Andre Gomes 5 - A frustrating display from Gomes who isn’t back to his best form yet. The Portuguese star didn't seem to be able to match the intensity that Patrick Vieira's side presented at Selhurst Park. PA
Andros Townsend 5 – Largely non-existent on his return to his former club. The ball rarely got worked to his side, leaving him with very few touches to make an impact on the game. Getty
Richarlison 5 - An anonymous display saw him withdrawn for Rondon, much to the disapproval of the Everton fans. Getty
SUBS: Anthony Gordon (Delph, 58) 6 - Had an effort what made the goalkeeper work but didn’t do much else. Getty
